A Morton Ranch High School student faces felony child pornography charges after school officials found sexually explicit images of children on his iPod, a school district official said.

The 11th-grader, Kyle Trent Boman, 17, was arrested on Tuesday at his home and charged with two counts of possession of child pornography, said Steve Stanford, spokesman at the Katy Independent School District.

Morton Ranch school officials called Katy ISD police after receiving a tip through the district's Safety Net program, which allows students to send anonymous tips to district officials.

Katy ISD officers visited Boman's home late Wednesday and seized his iPod, which contained sexually explicit pictures of children, Stanford said. There were also at least two images of female fellow students on the device, officials said.

There is no evidence that any of the photos were taken on campus, Stanford said.
